IT E W YORK 



This old cemetery is located across the street 
from where the old Testing House stood R,nd opposite the 
old horae of the Ln.ne family. Very fev; stones v:ere in 
evidence v/hen the following inscriptions were copied 
in 1909. It is known however, that the first settler on 
Quaker hill, Hathan Birdsall, is Touried here as are 
douttless numerous of his descendants. Numbers of stones 
v^ere so worn by age and weather that they vrere not read- 
able and the place vras being used as a pasture by for- 
eigners ?;ho were occupying the old Lane home. The Meet- 
ing House of which I have a picture teiken about 1894 
had blown dov/n previous to my visit there in 1909
